Comprehensive Guide to ISO 18843-1 Determination of Plasticizers Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

ISO 18843-1 is an international standard that provides guidelines for the determination of plasticizers in various materials. This standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) through a consensus-driven process involving experts from around the world.

The ISO 18843-1 standard is part of the ISO 18843 series, which covers the analysis of plasticizers in polymers and other materials. The standard provides a framework for laboratory testing and reporting on the concentration of plasticizers in samples, ensuring consistency and comparability of results across different laboratories and countries.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The determination of plasticizers is regulated by various national and international laws and regulations. In the European Union, for example, the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive limits the use of certain hazardous substances, including some plasticizers, in electrical and electronic equipment. Similarly, the EUs Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation requires manufacturers to register and evaluate the safety of their chemicals, including plasticizers.

International and National Standards

ISO 18843-1 is based on various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 11885:2007

  • ISO 10352:2012

  • EN 12830:2014

  • TSE L9:2020

    • These standards provide specific requirements for the analysis of plasticizers in different materials and industries.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of ISO 18843-1 involve various standard development organizations, including:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations collaborate to develop and update standards through a consensus-driven process involving experts from around the world.

    Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies, regulations, and scientific knowledge become available. The ISO 18843-1 standard is reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes in industry practices, regulatory requirements, and analytical techniques.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following are specific standard numbers and their scope:
